The Brunello Warm-Up — Borgo Bello Rosso di Montalcino 2022

Tasting Notes

Think classic Tuscan red, stripped of all pretension. A clean, ruby color introduces aromas of fresh cherry, pomegranate, and a soft echo of dried herbs. On the palate, it’s lively and medium-bodied, offering crunchy red fruit, subtle spice, and that telltale Montalcino earth-meets-minerality that keeps things honest.
Elegant acidity, gentle tannins, and a finish that’s more “let’s pour another glass” than “let’s analyze this for 40 minutes.”

Meet the Winemaker

Borgo Bello bottles this Rosso in Montalcino (SI) under the denomination’s strict rules: 100% Sangiovese, grown on the sun-baked slopes and breezy hillsides of southern Tuscany. While the brand keeps a low profile, the style is unmistakably Montalcinese — fresh, youthful, and built for the table rather than the cellar. It’s the local way: let the fruit talk, let the land whisper.
